ULTRA RARE VIOLIN RECORD
Argo RG 14  mono; very heavy pressing; ; blue/ white label; unlaminated sleeve
Busoni   Violin Sonata 2 op.36a
Max Rostal     violin Noel Mewton-Wood     piano


LP :  EX+  ( hardly played; remarkably clean for its type; one tiny nsm on side 2 . It is an old ,heavy press  mono LP so some surface noise is built in...best played with mono cartridge )
Sleeve :  EX (this is an unlaminated card sleeve and has some brown aging marks plus a few sticker residues and one brown paper sticker on front which i havent tried to remove as i think it would damage the cover underneath to do so.  It is actually in really excellent condition considering the type of sleeve it is....see photos )   
Cleaned on my Keith Monks machine with new inner (original tissue inner disintegrated)
I am an enthusiastic collector of over 40 years experience. and with >5000 LPs to my name. I am selling some of my collection to make space for other LPs and to raise funds to pay for them! I am particular about condition and these items reflect that ....apart from in rare cases, I just don't buy (or sell )anything that is less than Ex+.  I have my own Keith Monks cleaning machine and use that where necessary ( it is a wonderfully effective machine !). When i do, i use a new inner sleeve but also keep the original alongside it . If that is the case for any of the items I list, I make it clear.
I play my records on an SME 10 turntable with Lyra mono and stereo cartridges , through valve phono,.pre and power amps. Please note that that makes difference for older mono records for which I would always recommend a mono cartridge. 
My grading system follows the standard approach. For me NM means sounds like a new LP that has been played very few times good equipment and with great care ; EX means there are a few signs of use but sound isn't significantly affected...that could include a record that sounds fabulous other than for a couple of clicks ; VG , as with most listings, means pretty ropey and I don't deal in those or anything below that .....I collect records to listen to music and that becomes impossible if the condition is anything other than 'eminently playable'!  It is important of course to recognise that vinyl quality hasn't always been consistent and there are some early mono LPs where one has to accept a certain level of background noise and accept that that was likely present from new...that doesn't tend to bother me too much as often the performance makes it a small price to pay. There is also just the accumulated surface dust etc of ages ....and anyone playing older LPs really does need to have access to a cleaning machine if at all possible. (continued)
Everything i am selling i have played ,but not necessarily recently. My grading is a combination therefore of play grade/visual grade . It is done entirely honestly and should I ever slip in my judgement and you are not happy , then please return the item for a full refund.
I have listed post and packing at a generic average rate of £4.00 for the UK. If the item is valuable(>£50) I will send by tracked delivery for no extra cost.

I don't sell outside of Europe Im afraid as Ive had a few bad experiences as both buyer and seller. If you are very keen though contact me by e mail before you bid.
